Watch out for a listing on Craigslist Newcastle UK for a Nikonos RS kit including 13mm fisheye.

He claims his name is Alexander Weiss. He did send additional requested pictures, so probably actually has the gear.

I foolishly sent a bank draft for $2200 Cdn and received nothing for my troubles. That was 8 months ago.

I see the listing is up again. The listing moves around Britain. It was in Glasgow when I first found it. I started a police investigation through the RCMP and Greenock police, but nothing has come up.

I also had a deal going with mrhenson. He sent me screen shots of his ebay feedback. I could tell it was totally fame as everything was well over $3000 that he supposedly sold. When I searched ebay for his user name it came up blank so I called ebay and informed them. I then asked him to list it on ebay snd I would give him $50 more and he gave me the cant use paypal right now speech. Thank you Adam for pming me about him

Although it wasn't on this website and I have no way of knowing if she is on this website, but there is a lady on Facebook named "Jo Smith" who "studied at the University of Plymouth and is from Los Angeles" who took one of my shark images and posted it on her timeline with a link to a SCAM website called "Gear Bubble" without my permission. She has apparently done that numerous times with other images from other photogs, some with watermarks and some without.... BEWARE of doing business with her!!
